Arguably the greatest upset in World Cup history occurred between these two nations when Fiji downed New Zealand 4-2 at the 2017 World Cup and while nobody is tipping a similar result, it is fair to say nobody was tipping it back then and this will be far closer than the market indicates. These teams met again at the last World Cup too and the Kiwis only managed to win by six. The Kiwis ran away with it against the Cook Islands but found themselves trailing early and there is no question that Fiji are a far superior team. This line looks far too big. Caleb Navale has arguably been Fiji\u2019s best player this World Cup. He is playing big minutes and has three tries in nine Tests for the Bati. Casey McLean has 10 tries in five Tests, an incredible return for a sublime talent.<\/p>\n

Tips<\/strong>
\nBest: Fiji +35.5 ($1.90)
\nNext: Fiji +16.5 ($4.50)
\nTryscorer: Caleb Navale ($81 First, $8.50 Anytime)
\nSGM: Caleb Navale Try\/Casey McLean Try ($14.85)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
